I rush across the heavily crowded downtown street, feeling people grunt as I attempt to push past them. I get glares and annoyed glances, but I don't care. I'm twenty minutes late to my first day as an accountant for a new firm. Lately I've been trying to kick the habit of being chronically late, but nothing seems to help. I pressed snooze on all four of my set alarm clocks, and sat in my bed while I was supposed to be getting ready. It wasn't a surprise, my being late, it just was.
When I finally make it to the office building, I had to stop and get a badge so that I could get in the elevator and go upstairs. This only resulted in me being more late.
"Usually they ask you to come in earlier." A female security officer tells me. I stare blankly at her for a moment, analyzing the coffee stain on her shirt. She notices me staring, and immediately attempts to cover it with her arm.
"Anyways," she coughs, "I can't find your badge. You will have to wait for us to print off a new one"
I sigh, and roll my eyes. At least now I will have an excuse for being late. "Very well then, thank you." I say smiling. Why does this always happen to me? I turn away from the security desk and try to find something to do while I wait.
I decide to make my way across the lobby towards the espresso machine. I glance down at the message on my phone, its my boss, asking why I haven't showed up yet. Of course, I tell myself, making a bad impression on my first day. As I respond with an apology and excuse for being late, I feel scalding hot coffee hit the front of my white blouse. Cursing under my breath, I attempt to find a napkin to prevent the large stain that will soon grow. In the raging chaos, I don't bother to stop and question where the coffee came from, Im only concerned with how to get it off. When I realize all hope is lost, I look up to yell at whoever just cost me my new blouse. My eyes connect with a tall man with dark brown eyes in a navy suit. He looks at me slyly and shrugs.
"Excuse me." I grunt angrily as the man turns his back.
"You're excused Aria."
My head whips back to look at the man. He called me by my name... I quickly rewind the situation that had just played out, and I realized, I never told him my name. Before I can say anything to him, the security guard calls me over and hands me my badge.
"Thank you." I say quickly as I look at the badge. 'Aria Cano' it says in block print. I walk to the elevator, and look around one last time for the man, and then swipe my badge. The screen turns red, and reads 'Access denied'.
"But they just gave me this thing..." I say aloud.
"You're swiping it the wrong way," a familiar voice behind me says."Here, let me."
I turn around to look at the man again, and before I can say something he takes the badge out of my hand. He slides it with ease, most likely because he does it every day. I automatically assume he is an employee of the company, but I don't bother to ask. His presence makes me uncomfortable, the way he acts like he already knows everything about me, and everything that is going to happen. On someone else it would come off as cocky, but on him, it is slightly admirable.
The elevator door opens, and the man slips inside along with me. I press my floor number, and turn to ask the man for his, but I see another number is already lit up.
"So how has your morning been so far?" the man asks.
"Good, but there was this one weird guy who followed me into the elevator." I joke.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He laughs.
"Its alright." I say. I want to ask him his name, but I don't know how. He is extremely intimidating, and an attempt at a conversation seems pointless and would most likely be one-sided.
"My name is Elijah." He speaks up. I look at him and tilt my head, as if changing the perspective could help me figure out what this guys deal is.
"Well I would say mine, but you already sorted that out." I laugh uneasily.
"Again, sorry about that." He replies.
The elevator dings as it comes to his floor. The door begins to open, and the elevator is flooded with light. Before my eyes can adjust, I realize that Elijah is pulling me out of the elevator with him. I try to fight back, but he persists. When I reach my bearings I realize that we are no longer in an office building, we are in the middle of an open field, with green grass and vibrant skies, nothing like the bustling D.C. I was just in. I am taken aback by my new surroundings, and I have to catch my breath to avoid losing my mind.
"Would you like to come on an adventure with me Aria?" Elijah asks.

CE #6.1
1.Harriet Tubman is supposed to replace Andrew Jackson.
2. Texas teachers union is suing over a new evaluation system that ties teachers' scores to student performance on standardized tests.
3. Eight people have died in flood related deaths.
4 . The main focus of this story is the westlake students.
5. Change the upholstery, rugs, lighting, and paint.
I believe that this is outrageous, the individuals living in Flint should not have had to go through this, and had these officials not covered up the lead poisoning, it is possible that the situation could've been absolved sooner. I was previously aware of the situation in Flint, but I did not know that they had finally discovered who was responsible in covering it up. The people who were aware of the ongoing hazard should be fined. It is preposterous, others should not have to suffer because of individuals who lack the courage to speak up. I believe that everyone who took part in provoking the crisis should be held responsible to the same extent, because even if just one person had spoken out, it could've prevented a lot of damage that was done. The individuals responsible failed their city, and didn't have the towns best interests in mind, and that is unacceptable.

Current Event #5.3
1. AISD and the city of Austin are working to keep more money in schools, by creating a limited tax swap, so that certain school services are funded by the city.
2. It will take California six years.
3. The Wildcats won 77-74.
4. I would visit Chile, because I have always wanted to visit Patagonia.
5. I like the idea of Instagram expanding the video time, because it allows people to post more, and the you can see more media.
The major republican candidates left are Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, and the major democratic candidates are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.I personally support Bernie Sanders, although it is unlikely that he will win. I like the ideas he has about funding planned parenthood, and creating equal pay. Although, Clinton has similar ideas to him, and is much more likely to win the election, if a democrat wins. I think that the country will become more divided, especially because so much of the election process is in social media. This election is more focussed on publicity than the actual politics, and this is what is hurting most people. They are not getting educated on politics, and are more concerned with who looks better. This is a major concern, because when people go to vote, they will be thinking about a fake story about a politician that they heard, rather than focussing on politics. For example, people would rather talk about Donald Trumps grandchild being born than questioning wether or not e is going to support the countries economy.
I think that not enough of the candidates are discussing women's rights, and getting equal pay for women, but they are discussing the refugees, and building "a wall". I think that the candidates aren't talking about the most important topics like women's rights and raising the minimum wage, and what raising the minimum wage would do to our country.
I think he smashed ABRAHAM, because Neagan called whoever he smashed a he, and Abraham has been acting super weird for the last half of the season, and it had to build up to something. Also, it couldn't be Glenn or Rick because they already ended a season with Glenn almost being killed and they wouldn't do it twice, and without Rick Neagan wouldn't be able to get a deal.

One-hit wonder:Texas somehow gets victory
The Texas Rangers won their opening game, with a 3-2 victory over Seattle. Even though the beginning of the game didn't go well, they ended strong and won the game.
inning- "a division of a game during which the two teams alternate as offense and defense and during which each team is allowed three outs while batting"
Ketel Marte misplayed it. Hernandez was doing poorly at this game.
This is a recap article, as it goes over the game and says who won and how.

Sports Exploration Activity
Women's Soccer
Mexican Women's Football Team
Mexico is ranked 26th in the world on the FIFA Women's World Ranking.
The top ranking teams are
1.USA
2.Germany
3.France
4.England
5.Australlia
So far in the 2015-16 season, the Mexico women's soccer team has done well, winning 6/10 of their games. Although the American women's team won the women's championship last season, the Mexico team hopes to make it in the running, after not making it to playoffs last year.
In soccer there are many rules, but some of the most important are not touching the ball, keeping the ball in bounds, and not kicking or cleating the other players.
Some words that many people may not know are
Box- the area where players go when they break a rule
Flank- "the 10 - 15 yards from the side lines, often where crosses come in from"
breakaway- "counter attack where rapid movement is made into forward space. Counter attacking soccer is a strategy employed by teams when playing away from home"
One example of a cliche in soccer is that the latin teams are better, however USA is ranked first in women's soccer.
Brazilian player Marta is the best Latin American women's football player of all time. She has won player of the year a record five times, and has scored eighty goals with only 74 appearances. She was born of February 19, 1986 in Dois Riachos Brazil, and started playing soccer as a little kid. When her career first began, she played for Brazil in the 2002 World Championship, and then again in the 2003 FIFA Women's Cup. She then went on to Sweden and joined Umea IK. She switched teams again i 2009, and played for the LOS Angeles Sol of the Women's Professional Soccer League. During that contract, she ended up playing with FC Gold Pride and Western New York Flash. At the end of her contract she won MVP honors. Once her American contract was up, she moved back to Sweden and signed with Tyreso FF and won a league title.
